All the people of the country have an in
forest in the National Pure Food convention,
which is to be held in Washington in January.
The adulteration of food is an evil which has
grown to be alarming and any effort to check
It deserves and will receive general and
hearty support.
At the convention held last January bill
was approved which was prepared under the
direction of the National Board of Trade by
. committee composed of physician,
chemist and experienced health officer, a
lawyer to consider questions of constitutional
law, and we'll known business men to advise
concerning the practical bearings of such
law. This bill provides for the establish
ment of Bureau of Adulteration to be cons
nected with such department as congress
may designate. The officers of this bureau
shall watch over foreign and Interstate
commerce, and prevent the importation into
the country or transportation from one State
to another of adulterated articles of food and
medicine, or their sale in any territory of the
United States. These offenses are made
misdemeanors, punishable the first time with
fine of not more than 500, and for each
onment not exceeding one year, or both.
Authorizations, both in food and medicine,
are defined and provision made for inspec-
tions and analyses by the bureau, upon which
the law officers shall be asked to act
Some effort was made to get congress to
pass this bill at its last session, but it failed.
It is expected that the convention which is
to be held in January will make arrange
ments to push the bill this winter. The bill
seems to be a well constructed one and
should become law. The evil which it is
intended to combat has long been recognized
in this and other countries. In some of the
European countries, notably in France and
Germany, the adulteration of food and med
icines has been very successfully attacked.
There is no reason why it cannot be here and
the need for doing it is very great. Success
to the movement.

COMmUNICATIONS.



To the Editor Of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
solemn crisis has been thrust upon us
by the foreigners and emigrants of this our
town born city. Incredible as it may seem,
the brutal proposition to remove our sacred
and beautiful Grecian temple from the
Green is actually to be voted on There is
danger that ignorance and brute numbers
may prevail.
NY sands have nearly run out, but duty
bids me once more to lift my voice and urge
the unspotted town born to pious deeds.
Two things should be done:
First-The town born should now remem-
Der that a gentleman should be courteous
to his interiors. Let the town born tempo
raril7 forget their ineradicable superiority to
common people and treat emigrants and for
eigners as equals. Some of these persons are
grateful to be noticed by their betters and
will do almost everything to have us show
them little consideration. In this way we
may encourage them to imagine that they
have an interest in our sacred family histo-
ries and may get them to vote for the preser-
vation of our cred ark.
Second-A public proclamation should be
drawn up and signed by the greatest posi-
BILE number of the members of the Historical
society. This document should be printed
in all the papers. 1t should set forth that
the sacred State House is worth over six
hundred thousand dollars and that its re-
moval would double all our taxes and ruin
the city.
am full of many other things, but am
too tired to write any more at present.

West saw that the whale evidently intended
to breach on to the vessel, and word was
given to go ahead at full speed. So the whale
reared it's huge head and body into the air,
the little steamer sprung ahead, and the
whale fell into the water with a terrific
noise, and just cleared the steamers stern by
few feet When the whale struck the
water it made such heavy swell that the
men were unable to stand on the deck. See
ing that it was impossible to get a shot at
the monster without great risk to the steam
er and crew, another plan was resorted to.
A large, strong water cask, holding about
$50 gallons was emptied of it's contents and
then bunged tightly. The steamer was once
more headed for the fighter, and as she ap-
preached him he again came to the attack.
The cask was thrown overheard to attract
his attention and the vessel retreated to a
safe distance. The whale instantly went
for the cask, throwing it high in the air
with his hukes, but such was it's strength and
buoyancy no damage was done to it. After
several futile attempts to smash the cask
with his fukes, he commenced to swim
slowly around it, occasionally striking it
with his head and trying to bite it, evidently
forgetful of the ship which was watching his
every movement closely.
This was Capt. Vests chance, and silently
but swiftly the little steamer glided up be-
hind him at short distance from his tail,
and before he was aware of its approach he
guns, the bomb lances exploding in his
lungs. The steamer sheered off to a place
of safety, the whale forged ahead about 100
yards and commenced to break and lash the
sea into foam in its frenzy and dying strug-
giles, throwing high in air large quantities of
blood, showing that he had received his death
wound. After about five minutes struggling
he commenced to slowly mill around, and f.
nally, giving one last breach into the air,
came down on his side dead.
The steamer then went alongside and fas-
tened to Kim with harpoons, and with strong
ropes and chains secured him to the ves-
sci, by which means he was toWed into the
harbor, where crowds collected to see the
monster and congratulate Capt. West. on his
skill and daring in capturing the whale, this
being the first one ever brought into that
place.
The whals is upward to sixty feet in
length, and would probably weigh when cap
tured between seventy and eighty tons. 1t
is one of the largest of that species ever cap
tured, and would yield about thirty barrels of
oil
